Description

A long ruined wall of large rough-cut blocks runs across the middle of the picture, with a taller carved block with a rounded recess at the left. Low shrubs grow in the foreground, and a rubble stone wall continues at the right behind a thin wooden post. A single person in dark clothing stands against the wall near its centre, and the sky is pale and empty.

English

Large dressed stone blocks form a ruined wall at Palaepaphos, Kouklia. A carved block with a rounded recess stands at the left end, with a low boundary wall of rubble stones behind and dense shrubs on either side. A small figure stands near the wall.
